midnight appointment at Bahnhof Zoo / Top 5 Ways I grudgingly agree to die or perish / My Robot has no Soul

Fresh off the fire. Cheap.

Professor Abel
--

At school I studied Latin, so I could talk to Dead
People and the Pope. I am good with languages, but I speak only the dialect
eisenbahnwurstdeutsche. (This is sufficient for me to have many wonderful times
in DE.)

Aber bitte was ist

Du bist der geliebte
Mensch.

My dim acquaintance with deutsches, and my Robot,
say:

You are the beloved
person

... but my Robot has neither poetry nor familiarity
with human meaning and social nuance.I am a Failed Poet, so I would say

You are beloved

or

You're a beloved guy

or maybe someone is trying to say

I like you a lot

But under what circumstances does a real
deutschespracher say this? Is it an informal or sidewalk greeting, or is it a
deeply felt expression of great love for the person to whom you say
this?

Or is it famous from Literatur? If so, who wrote
it?

Thank you for any nuance or context you can supply.
My geliebte (danke fur diese Werde) Internet Relay Chat is kaput for the last
year, IRC is where I go to ask Indo-European or Finno-Ugrik questions of nuance
and context. You can get Icelandic questions answered in a minute on IRC, also
Suomi is no problem.

In Berlin I make midnight pilgrimages to Bahnhof Zoo, they got hot Wurst, all varieties, 24/7. If we must all die,
this is one of my Top 5 ways to go, I shall have died eating hot Wurst at Berlin
Bahnhof Zoo at midnight. (Another on Top List is same sort of death, but at Plaza
Garibaldi's 200 family food stalls in Mexico City -- also 24/7, free bonus
mariachi bands.)

I am an amateur lurker on Coq-Club.

Yours,

P.S. The Wassa -- unglaublich!

P.P.S. This is NOT a job inquiry -- but I can
fantasize about being a CS lecturer for a few years in Gothenburg, where is the
harm? Do you know what Queen Christina did to Descartes in Stokholm in February
at 04:00 every morning? (Later she said she was sorry.)
